Hi. I really can't get UDMA66 with the VIA driver. I tried
everything, also a new motherboard (ASUS A7Pro) with a
ATA100/ATA66 cable (using both ends...)!
All I get are the usual CRC error messages.
So, there's no UDMA66 for any vt82c686a ? I'm using 2.4.3.
If there's no UDMA66, what are the advantages using this
driver ?
TIA.

I am not sure if this applies in your case, but I was getting problems
such as this on my Abit KT7-RAID and had the correct cables, also. One
day, on a hunch after reading a post from Alan about overclocking, I
took my Athlon 750 down to 850 from 1.05 GHz and all is working great
now. If your overclocking, I would suggest not doing so (at least not
so much), based on my experience. I am also using the v4.0 driver.

I'm not overclocking. It's an ASUS A7Pro with Athlon 1000. I
had the same problem with an ASUS K7V with Athlon 700. But
the processor died after my cooler failed for 20 minutes!
BTW, how do I know if my cable is ATA100/ATA66, not only ATA66
? The manual from the A7Pro says it supports both, but at the
site it says the cable shipped with this motherboard is ATA66.

It should support both, to my knowledge (which is very limited, mind
you). I also went out to the store and purchased a new cable, which
made the driver recognize the cable correctly, whereas it did not
before. I wonder if there is not a serious deficiency in the cables
sent out with motherboards, which is contributing to the problems a lot
of people are having in this area. Hope this helps some.
